3Defy – 2D Image to Full-Color 3D Printing

3Defy has now added new capability: Full-Color 3D printing!

Our past 2D to 3D conversions could only be viewed in stereoscopic 3D. Now that 3D printers have advanced to the point of detailed full-color physical models, users can actually hold their creations in their hands! Many of our users requested this, and the results are really stunning! The way we accomplished this is by enabling ”exports” which are compatible with 3D printers and online services like Shapeways and Sculpteo.

3Defy – New Features:

Export 3D models in X3D format

Hollow-print mode – provides all 3D layers as thin solids. Extracted solids are held in place by support posts (suitable for 3D printing)

They recognize that users may want to try different variations of print settings, in order to optimize their 3D prints. Once a user purchases the 3D print service for a 3Defy model, they are permitted to modify and re-export that model an unlimited number of times.

Software Requirements:

Adobe Flash 11

Uses built in GPU acceleration for high-speed 3D rendering

Pricing:

The 2D to 3D conversion tools are available for free. The new exports service is priced at $4.99 per 3D model export, with package discounts available.
